Article Synopsis
- - The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on Veterans, who often have higher health risks, prompting a need for targeted predictive models using synthetic electronic health record (EHR) data to overcome access restrictions in traditional datasets.
- - The precisionFDA COVID-19 Risk Factor Modeling Challenge was initiated by the FDA and VHA to create diagnostic models specific to Veterans, using synthetic data to increase participation and replace the limited access to real data.
- - Results indicated that models trained on synthetic data yielded similar, albeit slightly inflated, performance metrics compared to those using real data, with major risk factors from both sources largely overlapping and validated by existing research.
Introduction: There is a need for investment in manufacturing for vaccine microarray patches (vMAPs) to accelerate vMAP development and access. vMAPs could transform vaccines deployment and reach to everyone, everywhere.
Areas Covered: We outline vMAPs' potential benefits for epidemic preparedness and for outreach in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), share lessons learned from pandemic response, and highlight that investment in manufacturing-at-risk could accelerate vMAP development.
Objectives: To provide updated information on the burdens of sepsis during acute inpatient admissions for Medicare beneficiaries.
Design: Analysis of paid Medicare claims via the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services DataLink Project.
Setting: All U.
Bioengineered fiber substrates are increasingly studied as a means to promote regeneration and remodeling in the injured central nervous system (CNS). Previous reports largely focused on the ability of oriented scaffolds to bridge injured regions and direct outgrowth of axonal projections. In the present work, we explored the effects of electrospun microfibers on the migration and physiological properties of brain astroglial cells.
